About Mayor of London VRU Sports Internship Programme

The Mayor of London and the London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) launched the Young People Affected by Violence Steering Group (YPAV) in 2019, whose role is to identify ways of using physical activity and sport to achieve positive outcomes for young people.

As part of this work, the Greater London Authority Sport team, in partnership with the VRU, has funded Sported to provide a 12-month paid internship placements for two young Londoners (aged 18-24) from diverse educational and employment backgrounds as well as from identities/backgrounds typically under-represented in sport.
